Mission

The mission of the Center of Excellence for Training and Research Translation is to enhance the public health impact of the WISEWOMAN program and the Nutrition and Physical Activity Program to Prevent Obesity and Other Chronic Diseases (Obesity Prevention program) through training and intervention translation initiatives that extend their reach, improve their effectiveness, strengthen their adoption in real-world settings, improve the quality of their operations, and sustain their efforts over time.

The Center’s Two Main Functions are:

To advance the skills of public health practitioners working in WISEWOMAN and Obesity Prevention programs through a variety of in-service education opportunities; and,
To identify, translate and disseminate evidence-based interventions, best practices/processes, and implementation tools for use by public health practitioners.
